I've been bringing my children here for 15 years and it's a good place for a fun water area. It's usually pretty busy, so unless you happen to come on a slow day, be prepared to claim a relatively small space in the sand (There are several covered picnic tables, and BBQ areas, but they are also almost always claimed.) The beach area is okay. There's usually some garbage, but it's mostly clean. You're not supposed to bring dogs, but there's usually someone who doesn't think the rules apply to them and bring their dogs anyways. There are porta potties and outdoor restrooms.

Regardless my wife had fun! Thank you Rotarians for the hard work and giving back to...
Read moreIt was a little disappointing when we got there as it looks like a condo development or something is going in right next to it, but we were looking for some place to walk after just arriving in the area that day so it fit the bill! The trails are pretty flat. We did stumble upon a faerie village which was an unexpected bonus; they apparently do this for a few weeks every year and we just happened to be there at the right time so that did make the hike a little more special to see all the tiny details and the creativity of some of the artists. Another highlight was the doe and 2 fawns we saw in the faerie village, adding to the magic!...
